the pink chair.

well i finished my awesome thrift store find chair a couple of days ago... 
actually not quite. the harsh reality is we wont have room to take it home. 
so i finished it enough to give it a proper funeral before we leave. 
sam was right. i can admit it.

the BEFORE:


the AFTER:

i painted it pink. im not quite sure why but i actually quite adore it. the fabric came from unique as well for around 70ish cents. i painted. then sanded. then gave up because i wasnt keeping it anyways!

but honestly im not that sad because the reasons behind not fitting it completely outweigh the sadness of leaving the chair behind.
my brother-in-law dan and my lovely cousin allie are flying out to ride home with us! 
so we will have a full car of awesome people instead of awesome thrift store purchases!
im totally fine with that!


other items we will be leaving behind to fit our devoted travelers are: microwave, tote, hampers, little plastic shelf-drawers, hangers, a few pots and pans and im sure whatever else sam can talk me into ditching! we shall see.

i guess di will just have to redeem itself when i get home so that i can re-thrift things i couldnt bring home! :)

im happy. we leave town on saturday: first stop gettysburg.

ill fill you in on the details soon.

until then,
